DIY Spice Rack

This is the Spice Rack that I finally introduced you all to on my last post. It was a project that has been on my project list for awhile now--and so glad that I got a chance to {finally} get it done!

I found the tutorial here.
Yup, if you clicked the link, then you can see that the orginal
instructions are in German {so glad that my 4+ years of German came in
handy!!}. But friends, DON'T BE SCARED!!! if you're interested in doing
this project, just follow the pictures, because they explain it clear as
day--seriously!! BUT, if you are like me and like to use what you have
to make things work, then you can do this project the way I did. So
simple

Items needed:

A shelf {I
used 2 different shelves to configure this shelf: a wooden one for the
shelf itself {that my husband had before we were married} and used these
spunky brackets I got from Ikea 2 trips ago--which I still saw there
during my last trip!! I painted the wood white to match my kitchen
scheme, and BAM! Together, I think they're rad!}

Jars {Now
depending on how many jars you want to hang, will depend on how many
jars you need. But when collecting your jars, different sizes really is
the key to the whole look of this rack.}

Small Nails
{Again, depending on how many jars you want to go with, depends on how
many nails you'll need. But when you figure out how many jars you want,
times that number by 2, because you'll need 2 small nails PER jar.}

1. Hang your shelf bracket, using your level and the proper amount of screws required for the shelf you use.

2.
Play around with the placement of your jars, using the lids. Once you
have come up with the placement you like, hammer 2 nails in PER lid.
Repeat this step for each jar you use, until it's complete.

3. Fill your jars with the spices you want.

And BAM!! Just like that, you have a spunky solution to display your spices!!

**If you want to actually make your own, then follow that tutorial I gave the link to. If not, this is a good solution.

Our ♥ Story: Beginning July 16, 2010

Hi I'm Jasmine. I'm a sailor's wife, as my hubby is in the Navy. My husband and I got married almost 4 years ago {!!), on 07.16.2010, which is the most special day that is held closely to both of our hearts, as we both married our best friend. Adam is a sailor aboard the USS John C. Stennis. I love all things crafty and nautical {as you can tell}. I also love to craft, sew, read, and cook in my spare time. We are a very active couple who love going to baseball games {primarily our Angels}, the beach, hiking, and taking our travel trailer out and about. We love God and we try our best to live according to the will He has planned for our lives. I love my sailor!! ♥
